If you haven’t logged into Hearthstone in the past four months you’ll be given a free competitive deck in the class of your choice when you do. I should also mention that this isn’t the only initiative to help make coming back to Hearthstone after a break more manageable.

To be clear, you'll get duplicates of, say, commons, once you have two copies of all the common cards in a set, but even so, the fact that I won't be able to randomly open the same epic seven times is brilliant. After all, there’s a lot of power in Hearthstone’s epic rarity cards, which meant players have had to spend a lot of their dust crafting them… and could still then open them in packs down the road. This “no duplicates” rule already applies to legendaries, but opening it up to all rarities will make a big difference in terms of how many packs you need to open to have a good collection. Instead of seeing card packs as a way to acquire dust which can then be used to craft the cards you want, every card you gain – regardless of rarity – in every pack will be a card you don’t own. And that’s why this change is so important. And if you take a break from Hearthstone and miss an expansion or two, then the cost to come back goes up significantly. If Hearthstone is your primary game, then that can be seen as an acceptable expense, but if you want to just play here and there for fun, well, good luck doing that above rank 20 with a bad card collection. Players like myself who want to dabble across all classes need to open at least a hundred card packs (but realistically a fair few more) to have a halfway decent collection when a new set drops. After all, one of the biggest – and most enduring – complaints in the Hearthstone community is how expensive the game is to keep up with.

No Duplicates in Card Packs!This change is arguably almost as big a deal as adding a whole new class to Hearthstone.

At that point, the class will have the same number of cards in the Standard format as the other nine classes. The same will be true of the second and third sets this year, and then when rotation happens at around this time in 2021, 15 cards will be shifted across to become the Demon Hunter Classic set.

And instead of having ten class cards in the first full expansion of the year, when Ashes of Outland launches the Demon Hunter class will get 15. Completing the prologue will reward players with all ten Demon Hunter Basic cards, as well as a 20 card "Initiate" starter set of Demon Hunter cards (which count as Year of the Dragon cards, incidentally). The returning player experience and prologue will go live on April 2 in NA (April 3 in ANZ), but Demon Hunter won’t be playable in the broader game until April 7 in NA (April 8 in ANZ). “Returning players will be introduced to Illidan and the Demon Hunter class through three new missions that take them back to a time when Illidan was an aspiring Mage, while current players will have a four mission prologue campaign to play through, which will then unlock the new class.
